About the Game

Dominate the world with your robot army, research new robots and customize their abilities!

  • The game features both a single player campaign and multiplayer matches.
  • Test your wits in traditional tactical matches featuring over 15 types of different robots and a wide selection of skills to play with. More to come!
  • Wreak havoc while flexibly adapting to the 5+ types of ever-changing battlegrounds.
  • Position your robots, capture important points, exploit high ground, protect the fortress, make sure the key robot survives, and so on...
  • Tweak and customize your robots using chips. Collect chips of different shapes, and arrange them in the best way possible to maximize your robot's abilities.
  • Expand your robot army by destroying the enemy's robots, and win parts to craft new robots with. Each robot is the result of a different recipe, and what parts you will actually get is a matter of pure luck.
  • Compete against other players in online battles and climb the leaderboards.
  • Expand your army, mostly through sheer force, but also via diplomacy and the accumulation of riches.
  • Fight your way though the non-linear world domination campaign; face opponents with far superior equipment.

    Win the match, craft a new robot, upgrade it, and dominate the world one region at a time. Good luck on your mission!
